Is this from the same family of Gov. Huckabee that tried to keep out the Little Rock Nine.
Do you mind telling us all what you are talking about?
Yeah, I have no idea what that claim is about.

Considering Huckabee attended the 50th anniversary of the little rock nine event a few days ago to show he is committed to civil rights...

He was also there at the 40th anniversary.

You realize that democrats were the ones trying to keep schools segregated and a republican president ordered the doors opened for the little rock nine don't you Superbadbrotha?

Anyway huckabee is a good man and doesn't deserve libel.

In 1957, Republican President Dwight Eisenhower ordered federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas.
In September of that year, a few days after passage of the Republican Party's 1957 Civil Rights Act, Orval Faubus, the Democrat Governor of Arkansas, ordered the state National Guard to prevent the court-ordered segregation of a Little Rock public school. At first, Republican President Dwight Eisenhower tried to negotiate with Faubus, but after several fruitless weeks the President lost patience with his Democrat foe. Eisenhower had not been afraid to take on the Nazis, and he certainly was not going to be fazed by Faubus or any other Democrat challenging the Constitution.
What party is racist again?
